Fatih Terim stated that Panathinaikos was rightly defeated by AEK, while he also referred to the penalty that his team requested for the overthrow of Kotsiras.
Panathinaikos suffered a 3-0 defeat at the OPAP Arena at the hands of superior AEK, who remained top by extending the gap to the greens to +4, with Fatih Terim to declare that the result is fair, while in his statements after the match he also commented on the penalty he requested for overturning Kotsiras.
In detail what he said:
For what didn’t work well: “Congratulations to our opponent first of all. They played well and deserved to win. We conceded the goal too early and it threw us off balance. We couldn’t get into the match, we couldn’t play the match we wanted. I can say it was the worst performance since the day I came in. Where we could have brought balance to the match was in the penalty phase for Kotsira. Everyone else saw it, only he remained French in it the issue and he didn’t even see it. And besides that we weren’t very good on the pitch today. A result we didn’t want. We deserved to lose today and that’s what happened, because we didn’t play well.”
On what this result means for the sequel: “This will not affect other games. There are three games left. We made things difficult for ourselves. Until the last match, the last whistle we will continue. In football, anything can happen. We too never give up and will try to do our best. I won’t say anything else about the referee.”
